ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate amplification of zinc finger protein 217(ZNF217) and its association with clinicopathologic parameters in primary gastric carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to determine DNA copies of ZNF217 in the specimens from forty- seven cases with primary gastric carcinoma.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no difference in DNA copies between tumor specimens and paratumor normal tissues. The incidence of ZNF217 amplification was 11.36% in gastric cancer. The amplification of ZNF217 was significantly associated with tumor size(P< 0.01) and intestinal type of stomach cancer(P< 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Oncogene ZNF217 may play a role in specific tumor types or subtypes of gastric cancer. There may be other oncogenes associated with gastric carcinoma in 20(q)13.</p>
